What we should be "celebrating" is the rule of law and justice being served.

What the black community (and all of us) should take from this is to teach our kids that if someone you don't know is following you at night, once you get home you stay there and contact parents/911. Instead we have "hoody" church services and a call by POTUS to "honor" this thug with more gun control.

Whenever we see an incident involving a black person and anyone else, the black community ALWAYS assumes that the black person could not possibly have been in the wrong. I would submit that is is this kind of mentality and the actions that accompany it that are keeping the races divided. As long as the self proclaimed leaders of this community promote and propagate this kind of thinking and individual blacks follow in lock step nothing will change.

Yes, this country is bassackwards and it's time to place the burden of responsibility square on the shoulders to which it belongs.

The nail had been hit on its head.

Be responsible for you actions and don't blame away bad or stupid behavior.

97% of blacks are murdered by other blacks.

It is never who or how many are murdered, only what race or religion was the murderer.

One simple question to ask . Where is the outrage when there is black on black crime . Most of the time there is a candle-light vigil and a couple of days later its back to shooting and killing . At least thats the way it is in Baltimore City. In truth there is more black on black crime and until communities start seeing and telling or helping the police things will stay the same . And i will say it here i value all life of all law abiding citizens and most certainly the children of all areas and walks of life .

One of the many "perks" of living in Illinois is the ability to turn on the news and hear about several murders in Chicago and its suburbs. The reporters are always welcome to engage in the calm discussions with the families of he victims. No tears, no riots, just a calm conversation hours after the killing. Why is it that race is such a catalyst?

The fact that the only weapons Martin used were his fists gave the media something to pounce on and sensationalize, had he been carrying a knife or anything that may possibly used as a weapon there would have been no story.
